Hours: full time
contract status: Permanent

Duties/Responsibilities: The centre for cultural Policy studies conducts

research and teaching in the fields of cultural policy, arts and design
management and the creative industries. its distinctive approach is an
engagement with both the practical realities of working in the cultural
and media sector and with theoretical questions around the conditions of
contemporary culture and communication. whilst extending across a range
of disciplines, the centre's research culture is based on a humanities
tradition of critical investigation.

This post will include a significant teaching contribution to one or
more of the centre's three MA programmes - the NA in international
design and
communication management; MA in Creative and Media Enterprises; MA in
European Cultural Policy and Management. The centre's taught MA
programmes are multi-disciplinary, combining conceptual analysis,
philosophical
issues and practical skills. teaching in the centre requires an
ability to
communicate outside narrow academic specialisms and to relate theory to
practice and vice versa. the post will also contribute where appropriate
to other management tasks related to teaching and research in the
centre.

Skills/Experience required: You will hold a doctoral degree and have
experience of both teaching and research in a university context. You
